TEACHING PROCEDURE
Activating Prior Knowledge / Focus:
Tell the students that we have a new guest today my friend Mac. He will tell his story ‘I am a
cat; I wear a hat, I sat on a mat, I ate a big rat and I am fat’.
Teacher Strategies:
1- Mac will tell them the story and I want you to listen carefully to the sound of familiars
words in his story: ‘I am a cat, I wear a hat, I sat on a mat, I ate a big rat, and I am fat’.
2- The teacher will reread the story again. The students rebate after him the rhyming
words. When they say the word I will put it on the whiteboard.
3- The teacher will use the magnetic letters to write the rhyming end 'at' I will ask the
student to say the sound of each letter I put on the whiteboard.
4- The teacher will put the first letter of each word "cat, hat, mat, rat and fat" ask the
student to say the sound of each letter before we add it. Like in cat the two letters at
will be already on the board and the students say that sound then when I put letter c the
teacher will ask the students what is that letter, what is the sound of this letter, what is
this word cat.
5- The teacher will do this with each word " cat, hat, sat, mat, rat and fat"
6- Activity # 1: give each group magnetic letters to make rhyming words end with 'at'
sound.
7- Ask each group to read the words they have made.
8- The teacher say: Now I have a bag try to guess what in it "man, van and pan".
9- Ask three students to take out an object from the bag and tell me what it is.
10- The teacher will use the magnetic letters to write the rhyming end 'an' I will ask the
student to say the sound of each letter I put on the whiteboard.
11- The teacher will put the first letter of each word "van, man, and pan" ask the student to
say the sound of each letter before we add it. Like in van the two letters an will be
already on the board and the students say that sound then when I put letter v I will ask
them what is that letter, what is the sound of this letter, what is this word van.
12- Activity #2: in groups: give them two plats one written on it "at" and the second written
on it "an” and some small pictures to sort them to ends with ‘at’ sound and ends with
‘an’ sound.
13- Worksheet #1: graphic organizer .
